Given the rumor that this run is somehow supposed to end in Roman being the top face, I'm kind of half expecting that he'll hold it all the way to Money in the Bank of next year, get cashed in on, and we'll be supposed to feel bad about it for some reason. I mean they tried to turn Sasha face because Bayley wouldn't help her cheat to win... and then Bayley did to Sasha what the two of them were doing to literally every other woman on the roster... WWE have forgotten like... all rules for writing it's really quite astonishing.

When he takes his L it will be earned Honestly I've never understood the viewpoint that ages of weekly shitty repetitive television are worth it if you get one halfway decent show in the end. Same reason I wish they'd just get the Kenny / Hangman shit over with.

The logical endgame here is Summerslam, but I honestly don’t even know who I’d get excited for to beat him The only issue with that is, all the chat is that the opponent there is gonna be Cena. And if he wins it, that would mean that ALL OF THIS has just been to help get the last guy, in his first match in nearly a year and a half, to get the record for most world titles as opposed to trying to make a new star. The ends wouldn't justify the means. At least the stuff with Lesnar ended up helping to legitimise McIntyre. Holy shit, Cena is like the worst possible option. They really need to stick the landing on who beats Roman, but I’m struggling to think of who that would be. I’d be cool with Cesaro beating Lashley, but he doesn’t feel like the right guy for Roman. KO is cold, and he really wouldn’t benefit from it. I’ve never seen long term money in the Uso’s as singles. Balor as The Prince could probably work, but don’t think he’s the right guy. They probably could’ve built Aleister Black up to be that guy.

Yeah I kinda can't get enough of Roman going full f***ing Omni Man on people You push your top guy as THE TOP GUY!!!! When he takes his L it will be earned Yeah that's my opinion towards the whole thing. I get that people are bored of it and want something else but me? Nah I'm loving it. Gimme more Roman busting dudes' heads. He's clearly the best character in the company right now. Build somebody else up to take him down rather than it just happening. There was 0% chance Rey Rey was gonna beat dude's ass tonight. He woulda had a better shot if he came out tonight looking like this.
Yeah Roman can be booked slightly better but in his case, unlike many others, the guy's had some setbacks and he's not seen as invincible. I was one of the main dudes here saying Owens was too weak to face Reigns and yet a ton of people responded to me saying "nah Owens can compete, look at this" and now all of a sudden it's like "damn Roman's too strong?" nah, yall gotta accept that. I'll also say this: I'm finding each and every Roman clip weekly if I miss a SD/PPV I'll still go find his clips that's a positive in my eyes. The fact I'm going out of my way to be like "lemme see what Roman did this week" is something I haven't really done since Kofi's WM program.
I'm trying to see Roman beat down fools and as long as they gimme that I'm good. Shoutout to the bums who're getting their asses beat on the weekly by the Tribal Chief Romey "Headbusta" Reigns lol.
The endgame IMO is gonna be a Rock or Cena match. Tonight they referenced Rock in Roman's whole bio when he was coming to the ring, Roman mentioned those dudes in an interview this week, they're bringing these 2 dudes up so much recently and yeah, they'll face Roman and get their asses beat but that's where it's headed right now. It should be Big E, it should be I don't know, Sami Zayn, it should be some other guys but that's just not what's happening right now.

Well, on the other side they never booked him like a top guy and it didn't make for anything interesting either I do wish more promoters would take the Gedo/Okada approach of this is my guy and i'm riding this momentum until the wheels fall off. I don't want Roman on a 3 year title reign tho and I have stated that I believe he will drop the title at Summerslam If he still holds the title after Summerslam I will be a little salty

I remember people hating Brock speedrunning the 2020 Rumble and eliminating people so easily, but opinion turning around once they got to McIntyre eliminating him. Then the feud for Mania was just largely Drew getting the better of Brock at nearly every turn (with Lesnar only laying out Drew all of once on the post-Rumble Raw).

He’ll be top face when crowds start cheering him when they get back and Vince sees that as a cue to turn him face.

It's just, it's been like nearly 12 months. I'm just laughing at it now. Like I said, I wish I could enjoy the "dude going full god mode" but he doesn't even have remotely a threat so it's not even that impressive, it's like going god mode while having the game set to Very Easy. He just sits in his room, gaslights the Usos, and for some reason weirdly has GM tier authority, nobody even wants his belt, there's no one trying to take his spot on the throne. Someone has a personal issue with him, he beats their ass up and down then easily wins the title match. I've made this exact post like 20 times in this thread, I'm gonna post it 20 more times, nothing's changing so who even cares. Misery booking that goes nowhere is beyond boring.
It's gone on so long that the thread looped around to being the posts from the Tribal Chief appreciation thread saying how cool he is lmao

He's basically one step removed from how my gimmick in Wrestling Empire rapidly became an endless cycle of, "Come into a company, beat all the top guys, win the title, then leave with it when I get a better offer elsewhere."

They probably could’ve built Aleister Black up to be that guy. WWE's kinda backed themselves into a corner here by not booking someone who could remotely be a threat to this incarnation of Roman. They've been so laser-focused on building Roman as this unstoppable big bad that they kinda forgot to build up the hero that's to stop him. So now, we're left in a situation with a part-timer like Cena or The Rock are the only ones that could conceivably beat him.

Another great showing by our tribal chief. Smashing the mysterio clan for making it personal. Top guys are winners

I don't watch wrestling anymore, but hearing that Rey got beat up has made want to seek out the clip.
Seeing Rey getting destroyed is one of my joys. There is something so satisfying about it.

Roman’s last 12 months MIGHT be tolerable if it hadn’t been preceded by the 6 years before it.
I can see he’s doing good work. I can see him FINALLY losing being a big deal. I think I’m just tired of him forever and I don’t see it changing.
Also, their endgame is Roman. I’m not convinced anyone is getting a good rub from this, but we’ll see.

Yeah my casual watching friends I asked about it were like "I tune back in for the first time in forever and they're still on freaking Roman so I stopped again"

There is a persistent idea that Roman shouldn't ever lose because when he does it will matter, I don't know if I'm in the minority but I don't agree with the notion.
Making the top guy have a few vulnerabilities, for example, maybe Daniel Bryan was able to put him in a sleeper in a tag match. You now have something that can be used for storytelling in later title matches.
The other issue is no one is being built up as a serious threat. WWE has had a 'one-man above all' booking policy and it's hurt them greatly IMO. You run it so long that people stop caring and when it does happen it feels less like a big moment and more like a prolonged inevitability.

What if the only genuine narrative setback Roman gets comes from Cena busting out those trash tier fourth wall shattering promos again lmao
